8.7 GCC Lesson 5A - Summative Check-in
While watching the video below, you may want to collect evidence (takes notes) in your ISN to be used later on the test.
Throughout this lesson, you’ve learned about many different ways that humans contribute to greenhouse gas production. One way to understand these contributions is to break down the release of fossil fuels by economic sectors. Industry is one sector that can release greenhouse gases. The industrial sector also produces many different types of useful materials, including cement.

Question 7
7.

Consider the following claim:
  • Cement production is a human activity that is a MAJOR factor affecting Earth’s mean surface temperature over the past century.
Question 8
8.

In order to determine if a claim is correct, evidence is required.
  • Asking questions is one way to identify the evidence that can be used to support a claim.
  • Below, write two questions someone could ask to identify evidence to support this claim.
  • Number them as you ask them.

Question 9
9.

List 3 pieces of evidence you would use from the video, notes from your ISN and/or vocabulary words to make your list. Number each piece of evidence and use complete sentences.

Question 10
10.

Write a paragraph using CER format to support or reject the claim above. Be sure to write the claim, list 3 pieces of evidence and include a conclusion sentence. (5 sentences total)

Using your ISN (if necessary), answer the following true or false questions.
